heavily implying that going from Rodgers to Carr AFTER playing with Carr as a pro was a strong disappointment.

Adams never said that. Adams said he didn't need any specific QB to be an All-Pro he could do that on his own.
Keep in mind somebody had to get those 100 rec. for +15oo yds. to Adams they weren't shot from a cannon they came from Carr. This original implication was that Adams couldn't be an All-Pro receiver once Rodgers wasn't the QB but that was shot down quick. So you have yet to show the proof that Adams said Carr was shite or a disappointment.

What is so surprising here. Carr was the Raider QB for 9 seasons, of course they are going to pick his brain and consider his opinions on some of those teammates and also take advantage of any sway he may have with them.
Just as an example are you going to spit on say an opportunity to sign a favorable contract for a Davonte Adams or some insight on a lesser known sleeper that could help us? Of course not.

Uhhh, that's what all the hoopla around him "not seeing eye to eye" with LV is about.


So since Adams is still "not seeing eye to eye" with management, he is still upset that he had Carr on the team last year? Or is it that he thinks Carr is trash and is mad that he had to play with him last year even though Carr is on a new team now?

Carr and Adams were teammates in College. Adams specifically asked to be reunited with Carr. The G.B. press then started the narrative that maybe Adams was good because Rodgers was his QB and won't do so well with Carr. Well Adams ends up with 100 recs. for over 1500 yds. and was selected All-Pro and Adams said it's not the QB that makes me. I make me. At the beginning of the season Adams trapped himself by saying that Carr had a HOF career like Rodgers had. Then back pedaled and had to admit that he obviously misspoke. Adams never said that Carr was trash. That is something that somebody in this thread pulled out of their arse. Adams was not in agreement with Carr being benched and traded and now he is having to start over with another QB Garrapolo
Here is a link about it from Fox sports

Wow..just

A trade with Dolphins would be better:

Trade Michael Thomas, Chris Olave and Derek Carr for Tua Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle.

Waddle would be a clear choice for number one WR and you get a great young up and coming QB in Tua.

Adams isn't going anywhere. Even if the Raiders traded him after June 1 they would still be looking at a cap hit of $23.6 million in 2024. Adams went to the raiders because he and Carr are very close friends and now he is back to square one with a mediocre Jimmy G. at QB and his third different QB and system in as many years. My God who wouldn't want Adams unfortunately we likely can't afford what the Raiders would need for him.

Some of y’all who’ve been carrying water for Carr are going to be severely disappointed when you see this guy play and realize he’s not an upgrade over Dalton based on both of their performances last season.

Bump.
